Today I focused on the new embossing powders (but here is also an amazing new Scrapbook Collection!) that is now available and a fun technique where I embossed onto coloured cardstock, it gives a different and often fun look! I have a video showing the process, you can scroll down for that as well as to find out how you can WIN!

AlsoI will randomly choose a winner from the comments left on this post (only onecomment per person) to win a $30 gift certificate to the Altenew online store, you have until midnight Tuesday October 31st (AEST) and I will announce the winner here on Wednesday November 1st.

WOW! LOVE your cards! Thank you for showing us a few examples of what these embossing powders look like on different color cardstock. I also like how you used the background stamp in different “feels” from playful to elegant.

great cards!!
here I am having the same issues too…taking up the most time in making my cards is deciding where everything is going to be..and which paper as background..can take ages!!!
Also just love to look at my design papers…is so much fun!!

Beautiful cards – I absolutely love the hugs with card with the Platinum embossing powder with the gray card stock…..Stunning! That background looks great on all the cards with those beautiful new embossing powders. Thanks for the inspiration!

LOVE how you used the embossing powders – with unique color combinations. I often get “stuck” using the same colors, etc & it help tremendously to see other options. Also, it makes it SO difficult not to order all the new embossing powders! Thank you for sharing your talent!

These are all very pretty, so glad they have new embossing colors right as I am starting my Holiday crafting and I feel like non-traditional this year so they are perfect. Thanks for another great video, I always like watching them😊! Your grey card turned out fabulous, oh and I love the bubbles idea you had too!!💖AND the Razzleberry on orange is great too.

Therese, these are beautiful cards. I watched the video first and loved the elegant card with the platinum embossing on the gray card stock — gorgeous. But I also like these other cards. I love the bubbles one — so simple, but so fun. Great sentiment, too. Thanks for all you share.

Fabulous ideas and techniques always seem to be here on your blog. Love your cards and this background technique using the colored card stock. Like you, I tend to collect patterned papers to look at (Lol!) and also, card stock in every color! My friend had the best comment! She said, “What! You mean I’m supposed to use this!” 🙂

Your cards are always totally awesome, Therese, and these are no exception! Love the embossing: quiet yet dramatic. I never would have thought to use the raspberry on the orange, but it rocks! And love the last one’s mono look—elegant and simple, my kind of card!

I loved the hot pink color on the bright orange and then I kept scrolling. (Isn’t is sad how my fickle heart can change in a second!) The bubbles card and sentiment totally stole my heart! Of course I knew you could use embossing powder on colored cardstock…I just never actually thought to try it…now I have something else to do today besides cooking and cleaning! Thanks.

Beautiful cards. The platinum one is stunning. The others are just plain fun. Fun colors that are bound to make someone smile. Love the background stamp as well as the flower stam. Altenew does a fabulous job and your creations shows them off the best! TFS.

All three of your cards are fantastic!! Love the fun colors of the first one, the whimsical design of the second, and the third (my favorite) is just gorgeous! Can’t wait to watch your video… you always do such a beautiful job. TFS your talent with us.

I have never Scrapbook or use Embossing Powders before but after watching this amazing video I’m totally hooked on all these products 💓. I absolutely love the technique & look of the Embossing Powder. It is georgous and I’m ready to throw myself into this and give it try. Also, I love the new Scrapbook Collection! I never realized that there is so much beautiful and fun scrapbooking supplies available till I seen this video. Thank you so much for sharing 💓.

Your cards are lovely. Altenew’s new embossing powders look fabulous! They show great detail and have such a smooth and silky finish. I especially like the platinum on the grey card stock for an elegant look.

I am in love with those circles! I don’t know why but my favorite shape is a circle. There is a song that says “The world is a circle without a beginning and nobody knows where the circle ends”. They look so good as the background for all 3 cards. I love the girl blowing the bubbles. That is so cute! That little snail and the flowers are also so cute! I love cute cards but then I also love the white and gold and brown card because it looks so elegant. I am in love with the new embossing powders and when I win, that is what I want to get, some new embossing powders. Thanks for showing us you’re amazing cards and for giving us the chance to win something. I hope I win!

Wow, beautiful cards! The colours and the images on the first card is so whimsical. Love it! The third card is just gorgeous in that colour combination. And I’m loving the platinum embossing powder. Your second card is my favourite!! The beautiful embossed background in those colours totally looks like bubbles. The silhouette of the little girl blowing bubbles is just perfect. Absolutely love it!!
